Airport Lines Expected to Improve

We’ve all seen the pictures of security checkpoint lines that seemingly snake through the entire airport. Maybe you’ve even waited in one of those lines? The good news is the TSA has been hiring staff. And, airlines are investing in more modern (and faster) screening equipment.
